Track competitor information on opportunity

On opportunity 012544, add competitive intelligence: mark Contoso Ltd. as the primary competitor, set their strength to ‘price’ and weakness to ‘slow deployment’, record dual-source evidence (sales rep note from 2026-06-28 and leaked RFP comparison), and attach a short summary of how Contoso’s proposal differs. Notify the opportunity owner, Elena Morris, and add the competitor tag so it filters into our win/loss dashboard. Complete before the executive review on Thursday.

Before I log Contoso as the competitor on opportunity 012544, surface any existing competitor records and prior win/loss notes that mention Contoso or similar offerings. Flag contradictions — for example if previous deals listed Contoso’s strength as support rather than price — and recommend the clearest evidence to include that will convince the deal team when preparing the rebuttal in next week’s review.

I just tracked Contoso as the primary competitor citing price, but the AM says the loss was actually due to missing features and wants the record changed. I don’t know whether to trust the rep’s note, the customer feedback, or a leaked RFP. What checks should I run to reconcile conflicting accounts, which source should take precedence for our competitive playbook, and how do I document uncertainty so the CRO trusts the entry?

Our competitive tracking is noisy: different reps label the same competitor with different strengths and our win/loss insights are useless. Looking across opportunities from the last two quarters, what single practice will improve data quality — for example a standard evidence field, mandatory win/loss interview, or a short taxonomy for competitor strengths — and how do I get the sales team to add that evidence without dropping activity metrics?
